New Zealand Datsun Club

Its a pain in the ass working at the airport when quakes over 5 hit because everything is shut down and reassessed. not to mention power shuts off and every tom dick and helena runs for the doors screaming. Got shaken awake after 3hours sleep this morn grrrrrrrrrr

4billion worth of damage so far-bet that will rise.

Glad to hear everyone is alright down there.

All of our thoughts are with you guy's and girl's down there. Still seems sort of sureal that this has actually happended in gods own.

Keeping my fingers crossed that the after shocks end and that you are all able to get a decent nights sleep.

Guess there will be no treaty claims in the south island for a while

We'll pay them to take Kaiapoi, be cheaper than fixing it

yeah i felt it in hastings

I came home to find a sign stuck to my door tonight.
It was green. Yay!
The neighbours told me the council came around this afternoon and did a inspection. Pity I wasn't home at the time though.

One positive thing has been people have been quite nice to each other. I've been given numerous drinks and snacks by the residents who's houses I've been working near. (makes a nice change from how people usually veiw us when we're working)

I've been too tired to even drink any beers.
I feel sorry for all the poor bastards who have had to clear lots of silt out of their properties. Most of them wont be used to that kind of work. I'm used to it, and being paid, and I'm sore, so they must be royaly wrecked.

was speaking to some residents today, they had been cleaning since sunday and that all went to shit when they were told there houses were unlivable and would be bulldozed down. that must be a real big kick in the junk and a bitch slap in the face
